+ ** DNS **
+Starting from FreeBSD 10.0, BIND has been replaced in base
+by unbound. This means that there are no dig and nslookup
+utilities for check_dig and check_dns to use. If you choose
+DNS_BASE, check_dig will be built using drill instead of
+dig, if you use -A the dig options will generally not work,
+check drill(1) for the correct ones, also, timeout and retry
+will be ignored, and check_dns won't be installed. If you
+check any other option, the installed dig and nslookup will
+be used.
+
+If you run FreeBSD < 10, you can still use the DNS_BIND*
+options to have check_dig and check_dns use the newer dig
+and nslookup utilities.
